Google Chrome Extension for Breached Passwords

"Password Checkup" Extension

It works every time you log into an online service. The extension takes the username and password entered in the login form and checks each one against a database of over four billion credentials that Google engineers have collected from public breaches in the past few years.
If the username and password combo are found in Google's internal database of unsafe credentials, the extension will show a popup alerting you that you need to change the credentials.
According to Google, they designed the extension with privacy in mind, so both Google and attackers can't abuse it to reveal or learn the user's passwords. 
The Password Checkup extension can be downloaded from the official Chrome Web Store, here

The term “Assistive Technologies” is defined by the American Assistive Technology Act of 1998 as, “Any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.”

There are many types and degrees of “disabilities”, and designers of Assistive Technology have been creating more and more tools as solutions for the myriad of ways individuals struggle. The PBS Parents website separates these devices into 8 categories: Access and Environmental Control, Aids to Daily Living, Assistive Listening, Augmentative/ Alternative Communication, Computer-Based Instruction, Mobility, Positioning, and Visual Aids.
